The Group Scoop

Therapy & Support Groups

Groups provide an opportunity to work through a variety of concerns within a person’s life while receiving support, gaining insight, learning and practicing new behaviors, and increasing self-esteem. In group therapy, you have the opportunity to:

Increase your self-awareness and focus energy into aspects of your life you wish to change.
Try out new behaviors and experiment with new ideas.
Express feelings you are hesitant to express and assert yourself in new ways.
Learn from other group members (and group facilitators) by getting feedback and finding out how others perceive you.

All groups are free to students who have paid student fees.
